Lea Harris, Food Writer and Great British Bake Off Contestant, has had a love of food since her father taught her to cook jam tarts at their huge, battered kitchen table when she was four. Half a century later, that passion hasn’t waned; she loves every aspect of cooking, baking and eating – from sourcing local ingredients to trying the more unusual delicacies the world has to offer.
We’re delighted that Lea is indulging her love of quality ingredients with Yester Farm Dairies to bring you a series of recipes using our products

Ingredients:
These pancakes can be sweet or savoury by adding whatever you fancy to the basic batter mix. I made lemon and blueberry, but you can add herbs, spices, cheese, grated courgettes … you get my drift!
200g Self-Raising Flour
1 large egg, beaten
1 heaped tablespoon Yester Farm Dairies Cheese
Grated zest of half a lemon
Milk
75g Blueberries
Method:
Tip flour into a bowl.
Add egg, cottage cheese and lemon zest, mix.
Add enough milk to make a soft but thick batter.
Fold in blueberries or whatever you fancy.
Lightly grease a heated griddle of heavy based frying pan.
Ladle in some batter to form pancakes that are about 3 inches in diameter.
Cook until the edges have set and bubbles are starting to form (about 2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook for the same amount of time.
Serve with whatever topping you like… I had mine with maple syrup and Yester Farm Dairies Greek Style Natural Yoghurt.
“This has lifted cottage cheese to a new dimension” - Great Taste Awards Judge 2020
Our delicious Cottage Cheese tastes like real cottage cheese should. We have deliberately tried to turn the clock back 50 years, making our cottage cheese in open vats, using traditional techniques to create a truly luxurious tasting product that is both high in protein and low in fat.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our Cottage Cheese is our signature product made on the McCreery family farm in East Lothian, Scotland. We have reinvented cottage cheese and turned the clock back 50 years before it became a bland, zero-fat diet food. Our cheese is a chunky and creamy cottage cheese hand made in the traditional way in open vats from the freshest pasteurised Scottish cows' milk. It’s an artisan product, not like cottage cheese you have ever tasted before. It has around 6% fat content and is high in protein – the original super food.
